This study adopted desk review, while a sample size of 93 sources was drawn from Google Scholar and JSTOR; exclusion\/inclusion steps were used to determine the sample size, from journals, marketing textbooks, and E-books. Data collected from 93 relevant articles focus on regional integration and fast-moving consumers goods industries. The findings revealed that regional trade benefits are yet to have huge positive impacts on FCMG in Nigeria based on challenges such as lack of government investment in infrastructure, inability to curb informal trade, and prevalence of trade barriers. The study concluded that that regional integration and trade development offers the opportunity to firms to access to larger market. Although with factors that affected by FMCGs trade activities. Finally, the study recommends the need for Government of each member states to use their political will to urgently deal with the issues of corruption and infrastructure deficit among the regional members to ameliorate the current challenges faced by FCMG West Africa states.
